Lore

The Nameless King was once a dragon-slaying god of war, before he sacrificed everything to ally himself with the ancient dragons.

— Description of the Soul of the Nameless King

Once a slayer of dragons, the former king and wargod tamed a Stormdrake, on which he led a lifetime of battle.

— Description of Lightning Storm

• Despite Hawkwood's Summon Sign being located in the area, he will not join you in the fight against the Nameless King. He will leave after the bell is rung.
